SynopsisIt is not enough to say that the Church is on the right path so long as it adapts itself to the present, or so long as it holds fast to the past. For that, according to the controversial Swiss theologian, "could mean ignoring what is good and acceptable and perfect, holding to what has gone simply because to do so is convenient." In The Church he presents a probing and powerful critique of the Church today - its theological image - through a historical approach and in the light of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.With his customary thoroughness, clarity, and objectivity - as well as a firm grasp of Scripture - Kung examines the essence and form of the Church, its fundamental structure, and its four signs (unity, catholicity, sanctity, and apostolicity). Fundamentally, he is concerned with the credibility of the Church in the modern world, and to this end he shows what is permanent and essential in it and what is historically conditioned. Kung's overall aim is to synthesize the essential ecclesiological threads that, if grasped will enable the Christian Churches to approach the future more confidently.Paperback 655 Pages Publisher: Image Books 1976 Language: English Product Dimensions: 4 x 1.80 x 6 inches Shipping Weight: 1
